Burton,James Early Years 1957 - 1969 CD

The first of two volumes that document the career of one of the world's greatest-ever guitarists, recognized as such by many top musicians, including Keith Richards, who gave the induction speech when James entered the Rock'n'roll Hall of Fame. Burton's instantly recognizable finger-picking style graced many fine records by artists including Dale Hawkins, Rick Nelson and John Denver. He was the mainstay of Elvis Presley's TCB band, backing him on record and in concert.
